@abc7chicago: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered the Navy to strike the name of pioneering gay rights activist Harvey Milk from one of its ships, orchestrating the change as Pride month celebrations take place. A defense official said the timing of the decision was intentional. The order was first reported by Military.com and confirmed by ABC News. Milk was one of the first openly gay men elected to public office in the United States after winning a seat on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977. He was assassinated a year later.

The fact that it’s “intentional” during pride means it’s an outright threat. It tells people “we’re coming for you next.”

The way that this administration cares way more about culture war nonsense than it actually cares about making reformative change is wild. their voters literally will not hold them accountable for anything

This is so wrong, Harvey Milk was a hero and a trailblazer, his legacy should be honored not erased.

Hegseth is such a weak, incompetent man....he needs to worry more about leaking military strategy.

I'd like to hear a single rational explanation for why he's doing useless culture war bullshit like this instead of something that actually matters. He's doing exactly what he criticized Democrats of doing for 4 years, do Republicans not see the insane amount of irony here?

So we have Orange 💩 using his position to stay out of prison, Doped up Brain worms telling us what to do with our health, a WWE nobody telling us what to do with our education and an Alcoholic running our Defense and in doing so smearing the name of a Vet. Got it.

I love that we couldn’t elect a woman bc other countries “wouldn’t respect her.” I’m sure they respect that our leaders keep making up issues. Groceries and healthcare are still unaffordable. Citizens are being deported. Medicaid and SNAP benefits are being cut. But yeah, keep making sure those marginalized communities don’t get too powerful 🙄 worst admin in American history

I’m convinced Hegseth was one of the many republicans who crashed Grinder during the RNC. He has such a h*rd on for anyone like Harvey Milk.
